Weak Erection CausesJason Brick discusses 3 ways to fix a weak erection in the
article below.
But I’d like to add my 2 cents and discuss what may be causing your weak erection ...

But when I eat high starch at my last meal of the day and and avoid the cortisol spikes, I sleep better, I get the testicular growth and the AM wood as well.

And this happens consistently.

Carbs before bed also increase production of GABA, a calming hormone that also facilitates sleep.

As a matter of fact, the circuits in your brain that control REM sleep actually contain GABA neurons that help put you into REM paralysis at night.

So here’s my plan these days….

Eat my higher fat meals before 3 pm and shoot for a total fat intake of about 35%.

Then fill up the rest of my diet with quality protein, clean sources of starch, fruits, veggies and vegetable juice.

This switch has had a clear impact on morning wood production and AM sex drive as well, so I suggest you try this out yourself and see how things go the following morning.

Now here’s Jason Brick with his take on the subject…

Dietary Fat and Erections – Part 2:

So, listen. Big Pharma will tell you that erectile dysfunction is just a thing that happens as you get older, and there’s not much you can do for it without taking a little blue, patented pill.

The less scrupulous of the herbal supplement dealers will tell you it’s easy to cure with the right Miracle Wonder Drug people have known about for thousands of years (but that’s only on the market now).

Our readers know we’re not either of those.

Sure, a variety of herbs can help your erectile health when properly applied to the right cause. I’ll even allow that (sometimes, rarely), pharmaceutical help might also be necessary in extreme cases.

But the real truth about erectile dysfunction is you can do plenty about it all by yourself with changes to your diet and lifestyle.

Take for example dietary fat.

A few simple changes in your fat intake can put a stop to a list of factors that could get in between you and a happy boner.

As a bonus, those same changes can help you lose weight and gain energy — two more factors that contribute to a better body image and healthier erections.

Saturated & Monounsaturated Fats & Erections

This is one of those “on the one hand, on the other hand” situations.

On the one hand, testosterone increases as fat intake goes up. Specifically, the Leydig cells in your testicles convert the cholesterol wrapped up in dietary fat into testosterone (source).

Usually they do this by absorbing the cholesterol in your blood, but they’re also capable of producing a little cholesterol if your blood levels are low.

All fats can add cholesterol to your blood stream, so eating a diet rich in healthy fats can help improve your testosterone levels…and thus many facets of your sexual health.

On the other hand, too much of any fat can decrease nitric oxide production. Regular readers of this blog already know that nitric oxide (NO) improves sexual and erectile health in two ways:

Nitric oxide relaxes the blood vessels in your penis, and smooths muscles in that area as well, specifically making it easier for the process of erection to happen.

According to a study of serum free fatty acids and nitric oxide published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, high levels of fatty acids in the blood has a direct correlation with decreased nitric oxide production (source).

People with a diet (excessively) high in saturated fats experienced those high levels of serum fatty acids, directly impacting their erectile health.

This might sound like a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation, but the solution (as with many things) is balance.

Aim for a diet of about 30-35% in fat.

This isn’t rocket science, though, so if one week you’re closer to 40% and another week you’re at 25%, don’t sweat it. Stress will take the lead out of your pencil faster than a little and occasional fudge on these numbers.

Omega Fatty Acids & Erections

Omega fatty acids are essential to your health: they help you build healthy new cells, repair damaged ones, stimulate brain function and make your nerves able to work.

They’re also called “essential” (just like “essential amino acids”) because your body can’t make them on its own. The only way to get them is by eating foods that contain them.

There are two kinds of omega fatty acid:

Omega-6 fatty acids which come from plant oils like canola and sunflower oil, and from most nuts and seeds

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon and mackerel. Flaxseed and walnuts also contain them, but in smaller amounts than the fish.

Most western diets, because we eat fish a lot less than we cook with vegetable oils, have the omega-6 and omega-3 balance way out of whack.
